They appear to unlock once you make a post. I experienced the same thing and they allowed editing as soon as I posted here saying I couldn’t change anything.

Given all the discussion in this thread, I have a question: does FT have a beta program where select users try out upcoming changes and provide feedback? If so, was feedback provided for this feature?

One of the reasons I dislike these badges is that there is now so much clutter in the left-hand sidebar that even a one-line comment takes up a lot of screen space.

How many free nights you earned this year. I will admit that this was the most difficult badge to gauge. No shade to our anonymous research group, but I would have liked more input on this category specifically. I saw a record of 200 nights earned in a year, which I found pretty insane, so I halved it.

See above for comments for countries and FT profile age but, essentially, while I recognize there are 200 countries (give or take), visiting even 10 is an extremely privileged position to be in. Less than 5% of the developed world has travelled to more than 30 countries. BUT a 100 countries badge will be coming.
